Viento Design Weight
Johnmor - 26/8/06 at 10:58 AM

I have applied for my SVA test and they have retuned a letter asking for the "design gross vehicle weight".
I assume this is different form the axle weights as that was on the original form.
Is this an approximate weight of the vehicle or the max weight the vehicle is designed for?

Anyway, anbody got any ideas what to put down as if i get i wrong it will just slow up the whole process.

These figures are more than the car actually weighs.
Its all to do with the braking efficiency caluclations etc that VOSA's computer works out at the SVA.
Ask the SVA man about the brake test when he does it its interesting and makes a MoT brake test look very basic!
